There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware.  Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions: "How does your home compare to others like it in Blackhawk, Danville and Alamo?" "How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" "What about financing? Can you help?" "If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" "Why aren't you using a REALTORŪ? Is there something wrong with the property?" "Since you aren't using a REALTORŪ, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? Almost all homes are sold using a REALTORŪ. As top real estate professionals, it is our job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Blackhawk, Danville and Alamo and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one." If you must sell your own home, at least let us give you a sense of its true market value. Tell us a bit about your home, and We'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what we feel it is worth. We'll also describe, as experienced, top Blackhawk, Danville and Alamo REALTORSŪ, how we would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. Don't price your home by yourself! It's our job to analyze the Blackhawk, Danville and Alamo market and determine the true value of your property. It's FREE and without obligation...

Selling Your Home >Preparing For Sale
When preparing to sell your home, it is useful to know how homebuyers respond when they look at a house. Very few people will buy a home because they are attracted by fantastic bathrooms. Buyers do react to bathrooms that are not cared for, however, because they view them as a reflection of the overall condition of the property.
Many buyers know that plumbing repairs potentially represent a major expense. They get nervous about dripping faucets, loose tiles, and running toilets. Your pre-marketing preparations should include making sure that your plumbing is working properly and that any cosmetic damage caused by former leaks has been repaired.
Keep the bathroom spotless while your home is on the market. Remove any traces of mold or mildew and scour away any build-up on the bathtub and basin. Re-caulk around the tub and shower, if necessary. A new shower curtain, bath mat, plush towels and scented soap can help give the buyer one more positive reason for liking your home!
